It is not required to be able to spell football foundation to be on the foundation.

I was at a meeting where Ingram spoke. The 2017 schedule is complete. It will have 1 guaranteed buy game. No other details.

One might think that normal programs announce when they have added teams to future schedules.

Ingram mentioned that the contracts were in the processof being signed and then the information would be made known.

2017 OOC is complete and will be released when Clark is ready. No I was not told who they OOC opponents are but I am pretty sure we have only one buy game. (I think Florida) and play a SWAC team. They are being VERY tight lipped.

FWIW, Craft Oneal followed me on Twitter late last night.

Ingram and Clark both WANT to release the 2017 OOC schedule, but they can't yet because the contracts have to be signed by both universities for all four games, and we are waiting for the other schools, who aren't desperate to announce something. When they sign, then it is official, and we can release it. As of now, those schools can back out, although it is doubtful that they will. All four are agreed in principle.

My source on this is Mark Ingram himself, so it is legitimate.

Without reading the 5 pages of comments to see if someone has already said this because.. ain't nobody got time for that!

I was concerned about having Watts on board, but now I think it is a good thing. This way when the foundation does something, he can't step up at the last second and try to block it. He will be part of the group that decides to do that original action.

Yep, with Fess, Brooks, Hays, & Witt on the team Watts is our problem.

I think the wisdom of Lyndon Johnson might apply to the a$shats from trustees on the Foundation Board-talking about J Edgar Hoover-"I'd rather have him on the inside of the tent pissing out than on the outside pissing in"

I wasn't excluding them, but Watts would be the one to take action, whether it is following an order or not.
